Hello,

We're trying to add an IE8 stylesheet inside conditional comments, but because the parser ignores contents inside comments, it is not converted to a css link correctly:

<!--[if lte IE 8]> <meta data-sly-call="${clientLib.css @ categories='ourstlyes.iestyles'}" data-sly-unwrap></meta> <![endif]-->

Which gets rendered to:

<!--[if lte IE 8]> <meta data-sly-call="" data-sly-unwrap></meta> <![endif]-->

What would be the recommend approach here? I have tried pulling the comment into a different template with the same result. The other approach we were thinking was creating a a component for the comment opening and closing and outputting directly with: response.getWriter().print("<!--"); but this seem like a bit of a hack?

Thanks!

Hi Gareth,

I've just tried this in aem-sightly-repl:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html data-sly-use.ie8conditional="${'libs.granite.sightly.templates.ClientLibUseObject' @ categories='apps.geometrixx-outdoors.desktop', mode='css'}"> <head> <!--[if lte IE 8]> ${ie8conditional.include @ context='unsafe'} <![endif]--> <title>Conditional tags</title> </head> <body> <h2>It Works!</h2> </body> </html>

The output looks like what you need:
